 | You always hear that theres an "overabundance" of this and that, and a "shortage" of this and that... but it is truly difficult to get a teaching position as a secondary social studies teacher?
I'm all about relocating too! I would love to relocate to the pacfic northwest or Northern CA if there were a need there.

| Hi, I Live in NY and I am completing my masters and will be certified for 2007-8. Its is difficult to find a Social Studies job here in New York and so my wife and I are willing to move pretty much anywhere( its so expensive here anyway). Ive noticed that even growing areas like Las Vegas and North Carolina need teachers but not necessarily SS teachers. Is there any state or area where there is a shortage of Social Studies teachers....or should I begin learning chemistry? Thanks for any help.

| I currently hold an initial license in Social Studies for grades 5-12 in Massachusetts. I did 8 weeks of student teaching in high school and 8 weeks in middles school, and passed both of the required tests. Well, during my first job search I had a few interviews but couldn't land a job as a social studies teacher. A position for a permanent sub for instructional technology in a k-8 school popped up and since I love technology I jumped on the opportunity and got the job. Now I am realizing that I really enjoy it and I am wondering what I have to do to become a full-time instructional technology teacher.
Thank you for your time.

| I am working towards becoming a social studies teacher, but through my college preparation and student teaching I foolishly did not pay much attention on gaining training and experience in an extracurricular activity to make myself more marketable. Now I am graduated, and looking for advice on how to gain that experience to aid in my job search. How can I get myself in a position to be an advisor for school newspaper, yearbook, debate, leadership, and coaching soccer. Those are the things that fit my interest, but I have no experience in any of them. Where can I start?

| I am in the process of gaining my certification to be a high school social studies/history teacher.
I am concerned that, in the interview process, I will be asked to coach a sport. It seems to me that, as busy as I will be in the first years of my teaching career, the last thing I need to have hanging over my head is the responsibility of a coaching position.
I have had it said to me in numerous conversations that, more than likely, I will be dismissed from a high school teaching position over my sports team's performance more often than I will over my teaching skills.

 | I've been substitute teaching and taking leave replacements for over a year now, and I'm out of patience with finding a job here in New York. I'm a certified Social Studies teacher, but there has been a hiring freeze here in New York City for the past 2 years, and they say it will last for another three. I have sent my resume to some schools in Raleigh and Charlotte, but have not yet been offered any interviews. Any suggestions? Thanks!

| I wanted take my Masters in Elementary Education to teach K-8 but missing two required classes to start the program. I am thinking Social Studies would be a better/easier path to teaching here in NYC.
If I do get a MAT in Social Studies degree, can I teach other subjects or must it be Social Studies?
Also is the Social Studies teachers in NY needed or is the job market over-saturated and jobs are hard to come by?
